Obama’s on his way to being like a middle aged person in the 60’s saying “far out”, i.e., perceived as out of touch. But, he’s not there yet.
Y’know, the other day I saw that he was shopping at the Gap, which he said was one of his favorite stores. He also said, as I recall, “It’s been something like ten years since I shopped for myself.” And, “You mean you can sign on these credit card machines?”
He’s so far out of touch (from 2008—”Have you seen the price of arugula lately?”) that hopefully his base will notice... someday.
If it were George H.W. Bush he would have been ridiculed.
